He was a retired sewing machine mechanic and was of the Baptist faith. Bobby loved the outdoors where he was an avid hunter and fisherman. He also enjoyed grilling and was very gifted with his hands that could fix anything. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by grandparents, Jimmy Jones, Nora Jones, Ollie Jones, Edith Ryan and Lawrence Ryan; along with his two dogs, Lucky and Spot.
He is survived by two children, Megan Jones of Little Rock and Leslie Forrest and husband Tracy of Warren; siblings, Billy Jones and wife Pam of Monticello and Deborah West and husband Mark ''Curly'' of Wilmar; and three grandchildren, Alex Forrest, Ryan Cox and Gracie Forrest.
Graveside services will be held at 9:00 a.m. Tuesday, August 19, 2025, at Pleasant Springs Cemetery with Rev. Joey Chambers officiating. You can sign Bobby's guestbook registry here on his page.
